  • Publication number: 20230154561
    Abstract: Deep learning systems and methods for predicting structural aspects of protein-related complexes are described herein. An example method for predicting inter-chain distances of protein-related complexes includes receiving data associated with a protein-related complex, where the data associated with the protein-related complex includes at least one of a tertiary structural feature and a multiple sequence alignment (MSA)-derived feature. The method also includes inputting the data associated with the protein-related complex into a deep learning model. The method further includes predicting, using the deep learning model, an inter-chain distance map for the protein-related complex.

  • Patent number: 10436482
    Abstract: A solar water source heat pump air conditioning system includes an air-water heat exchange system, an aqueous solution heat exchange system, a heat pump main engine, a concentration system, an energy recovery system and a condensate water recovery system. According to the present invention, solar energy in air is absorbed by utilizing the air-water heat exchange system and is provided for a heat pump. Cold-heat transfer is performed between the air-water heat exchange system and the heat pump main engine by adopting the aqueous solution heat exchange system, thereby avoiding frosting and pipeline pollution. Cold energy of air-conditioning condensate water is collected by utilizing the condensate water recovery system and then is used, thereby increasing efficiency of the heat pump main engine. Air flowing through the air-water heat exchange system is purified by adopting a haze purification system, thereby improving air quality.

  • Patent number: 10300400
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a wet evaporation-based cold concentration system, which is mainly applied to the technical field of air conditioners, and particularly applied to the technical field of heat-source tower heat-pump air conditioners. By utilizing a wet evaporation theory, a low-temperature low-concentration anti-freezing solution is enabled to contact low-temperature air in a wet evaporator to perform the heat and mass transfer, and water in the anti-freezing solution is vaporized at a low temperature into the air, thereby obtaining the high-concentration anti-freezing solution.

  • Patent number: 10260763
    Abstract: The invention discloses a method and apparatus for retrofitting air conditioning system using all-weather solar heating. In air conditioning system in which original single cold host is equipped with a cooling tower and a boiler, plate heat exchanger, solar collector plate, energy storage tank and circulating pipelines are provided. The cooling tower is used to absorb the heat in the winter air. The solar collector plate is used to absorb solar thermal heat and transfer to the plate heat exchanger. The single cold machine is used to absorb the heat of the antifreeze liquid. The plate heat exchanger is provided to form a secondary cycle so as to avoid icing risk of the antifreeze liquid. At the outdoor temperature more than five degrees, the indoor users is heated without operating the boiler, which maintains summer operation performance and meanwhile increases winter heating function without changing the original system.

  • Publication number: 20120198587
    Abstract: Gene expression is controlled at the transcriptional level by very diverse group of proteins called transcription factors (TFs). 5671 soybean (Glycine max) genes have been identified and disclosed as putative transcription factors through mining of soybean genome sequences. Distinct classes of the TFs are also disclosed which may be expressed and or function in a manner that is tissue specific, developmental stage specific, biotic and/or abiotic stress specific. Manipulation and/or genetic engineering of specific transcription factors may improve the agronomic performance or nutritional quality of plants. Transgenic plants expressing a select number of these TFs are disclosed. These transgenic plants show some promising traits, such as improving the capability of the plant to grow and reproduce under drought conditions.
